Hello all,
So I've got a Intel Celeron N2830. Since the past couple of days I noticed it was getting very unresponsive, it wasn't very responsive to began with but it become very bad in the past couple of days. I noticed in the task manager that the speed of the CPU was limited to 0.5Ghz at 23% util. So after searching on Google I found https://forums.tomshardware.com/threads/cpu-speed-stuck-at-0-5ghz.3387209/ and followed the steps in it. I disabled SpeedStep in BIOS, it didn't help. Then I installed HWInfo and ran in sensor only mode. It said that both the cores are thermal throttling at 48C and 46C repectively, which I don't believe is a tempreture any CPU should be fine at. The post also instructs to uncheck BD PROCHOT but the option is unavailable in ThrottleStop, ie greyed out.
Before all went wrong I did mess around a bit in ThrottleStop but nothing serious and remembered to changed everything back to normal before exiting. I remember lowering the Clock Mod, the Set Multiplier and Voltage ID to a valve one step lower than the current, then immediately changing them back to normal. I also remember the CPU used to use 1.5W (Intel page says it has a TDP of 7.5W thos) instead of the 0.4W it is using right now.
Please help.
Oh also the system is stuck in a update loop basically it downloads an update then applies it over a very long time like hours then suddenly powers down and when restarted reverts the update, then repeat. But thats another issue for another time.
